Bill, we are putting Hemingway's Lost Generation to shame -g- BTW, Gertrude Stein , coined that term when she heared the "patron" of a French Garage scold an Ex-Patriot American mechanic, who was not fixing her brakes properly, that he was a "generation perdue" At least that's how he told it in "A Moveable Feast" Ho HO HO, a talented bunch of rogues indeed.

Bill, why not suggest to the SI participants to trade treasury strips. For example most strips gained over 4 1/4% yesterday. The 2029 strip from $172.5 to $181 or $7.5 per bond. (yes I know it can go the other way too, then just short them <G>) Quite substantial swings with the principal guarantied by Uncle Sam and up 1 to 10 leverage. (Well would not suggest this one) Commision are very small (less than $40) or even free with some online outfits. Haim
